I will be taking the VIA train 85 to Kitchener on Monday (May 4th). Who else is going to UW via that train?

All five Woburn invitees are taking this train, including me.

Let's bring ping pong paddles, and play ping pong! Smile

See you all in ~14 hours!

Hey.
Wow. Never been with so many smart people in my life- it was quite an amazing week. I'm glad to have met these like-minded (if I may say so without being pretentious) people.

First of all, congratulations to Brian, Hanson, Peter, and Robin. This year's Canadian IOI delegation is very strong. Perhaps you guys can beat the Chinese team this year! (not)

If you were there, you probably know what happened to me a few hours ago. That was pretty funny. If you weren't- basically, fate player a horrible prank on me and convinced me for 10 seconds that I was a gold medallist. Ah, there's always next year for fantastic IOI travel. >_>

See some of you tomorrow at ECOO!

Cyril, you do know next year IOI is in Waterloo, you wouldn't get to travel much.

I suspect that he did know that and he was being sarcastic.

DanielG · **Posted:** Sat May 09, 2009 6:58 pm

true, should have realized that.

Cyril · **Posted:** Sat May 09, 2009 7:48 pm

Sorry, sarcasm does not carry well on a computer science forum.

Cyril · **Posted:** Sat May 09, 2009 8:58 pm

Hahaha, my dad took a video of said horrible prank. I might release this. (Also, I made a typo earlier that I can't fix, so: sentences[9].words[5][5] = 'd'; )

I actually thought that Troy pulled this on purpose because I had said something earlier to the effect that computer science was a subset of mathematics, which seemed to displease him (and he was sitting at my table), and also because I mentioned that I thought I wasn't going to be on the IOI team, but that I wasn't exactly sure.

I felt really bad for you though...

Cyril · **Posted:** Sat May 09, 2009 10:10 pm

Oh, there's no reason to feel bad. I never felt bad for myself. I went to the banquet knowing that my placement would be somewhere in the middle of silver. I'm simply not "IOI material" this year. (You are.) This will probably give people the misconception that I was the runner-up, but I think that was Jon.

Time to start doing SPOJ stuff!
